Outdoors on a paved walkway beside a stack of grey stone blocks, a man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold pendant necklaces walks forward while pointing ahead with his right hand. A bright yellow-orange umbrella is held over him by a man in white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl. Behind them a man in orange robes with a mala walks alongside, and another figure stands further back. Tall green trees and a palm line the background under a clear blue sky. The central figure has a red tilak on his forehead and shoulder-length dark hair; whether he is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
